The Banshees of Inisherin starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson is a black comedy about a very badly managed falling out. When BFF (Best Friends Forever) becomes BFNM (No More), it is painful for all concerned.
It doesn’t help that the story takes place on the suffocating little fictional Irish isle of Inisherin where the only privacy is to be found by escaping to The Mainland – Ireland in this case. Great grey sea vistas are juxtaposed with dim-lit cottage interiors, to give a feeling of the beauty and harshness of life, where pulling together is the only option. Until Callum starts pushing back.
